EA/DICE has now, finally, revealed minimum and recommended system requirements for Battlefield 1 as well as revealed a list of changes that will be coming to the game as a result of that same beta phase.

According to details on the Battlefield website, you will need some decent hardware even to fulfill the minimum system requirements for the game. The minimum system requirements list starts off with 64-bit version of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 OS, either AMD's 6-core FX-6350 or Intel's quad-core Core i5-6600K, 8GB of RAM and either Radeon HD 7850 2GB or Nvidia GTX 660 2GB graphics card.

The recommended requirements are noticeably higher, with Windows 10 OS 64-bit as the recommended choice, AMD's eight-core FX-8350 or Intel's quad-core Core i7-4790 CPU, a whole 16GB of RAM and decent graphics card in the form of either an AMD RX 480 4GB or Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB.

Battlefield 1 will be officially released for the PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One on October 21st while people that pre-ordered the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition will be able to play it on October 18th.

According to Electronic Arts, the Open Beta phase for Battlefield 1 will officially start on August 31st and will be available on PCs, Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. Those that sign up to Battlefield Insider by August 21st and choose their platform, will have a chance to get an invite for the Open Beta phase. There is still no word on how long the Open Beta phase will last, but hopefully it will give gamers enough time to try it out and give EA/DICE enough time to squash some bugs.

The Open Beta phase will include a single map, Sinai Desert, as well as two modes to choose from, Conquest, with up to 64 players, and Rush mode, with up to 24 players.

EA has also released the new Gamescom Gameplay Trailer which shows exactly that same map and hopefully the armored train will also be included in the beta as it looks like a lot of fun.

As we draw closer to the October 21st launch date, EA is further teasing us about the upcoming Battlefield 1 game with a new trailer detailing weapons that can be used in the game.

According to earlier details, Battlefield 1 will have six main categories of weapons, including shotguns, SMGs, LMGs, Semi Autos, Sidearms, Sniper Rifles and, of course, melee weapons and bayonets.

DICE also made sure that each weapon has a "unique character and personality on the battlefield" and made sure that they sound, feel and handle as real as possible, from the "bang" of a shotgun to the "clink" of an empty magazine.

EA and DICE also made sure that there is a definite difference between the machine guns in games like Battlefield 4 and the ones in the Battlefield 1 as it will be "a different experience" and "much more up-close and personal," according to the Creative Director Lars Gustavsson.

In case you missed it earlier, the Battlefield 1 will be officially released for the PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One on October 21st while those that pre-ordered the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition will be able to play it on October 18th. Sign up for the Battlefield 1 Open Beta is also still open.

A senior executive at DICE has confirmed that the developer is working on a new game in the Battlefield franchise and according to earlier details, it will be once again set in military setting, as opposed to the recently released Battlefield Hardline.

Spotted by VG247.com, Dan Vaderlind, Development Director at DICE, has confirmed via his Twitter account that he is moving to another project, the next Battlefield. While he was working on Battlefront, the same team behind that game will continue to work on additional content and DLCs while the main team will be moving to the new Battlefield project.

Earlier details revealed during EA's investor meeting already suggested that the new Battlefield 5 will retain the military theme as opposed to cops vs robbers theme in the latest Battlefield Hardline game.

The new Battlefield 5 is expected to launch in time for holiday shopping season, which is usually the best time to launch an AAA title in case you are aiming for big sale numbers.

Although we knew it was coming sometime in October, EA and DICE have announced that the Star Wars Battlefront open beta will run from October 8th to October 12 and be available on the PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

According to the blog post, the Star Wars Battlefront open beta will include Walker Assault on Hoth, Drop Zone on Sullust and Survival Mission on Tatooine game modes. The open beta will allow the team at DICE to test various aspects of the game as well as the online infrastructure. DICE also noted that players might experience interruptions in the gameplay during this beta phase.

The earlier details Companion app will be only available via the official website and feature strategic card game Base Command that will allow you tuo unlock Star Cards, weapons and other things from the game as well as let you check out you stats, game progression, customize load-outs and more.

All players will be limited to level five cap and stats and progression will not be carried over to the final game.

Those coming from the PC will be able to pre-load the game from Origin as of October 7th. The Playstation 4 beta will be available at the PSN Store while the Xbox One can be found at Xbox Live Marketplace.

Be sure to mark those days and in case you can't take a few sick days off from work, bear in mind that October 10th and 11th are weekend days.

As teased earlier, DICE has unveiled a new Star Wars Battlefront game mode during Gamescom 2015, the Fighter Squadron mode.

As expected, this 20-player game mode will focus on ship battles and some rather impressive gameplay action. The released trailer shows that you will be able to take control of plenty Rebel ships, including A-Wing and X-Wing, as well as Imperial Tie Fighter and Tie Interceptor. The trailer also shows special ships including Millennium Falcon and Boba Fett's Slave I ship.

Some Star Wars Battlefront gameplay videos from closed alpha have been spotted earlier on Youtube, but were quickly taken down by EA. The new batch is posted on Dailymotion so hopefully these will stay on longer.

In case you missed it earlier, Star Wars Battlefront is scheduled to launch on November 17th and will be available on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

We had a chance to play Star Wars Battlefront PlayStation 4 edition. We saw a short demo of Battlefront on PC at the AMD Fury X, Radeon 300-series event, too.

There is no doubt that graphics on the PC version will be many times better, but let's not mix apples and oranges. The PlayStation 4 runs on semi-custom AMD Jaguar core and semi-custom GCN graphics that give a fraction of the performance you get from a current-gen high end graphics card.

AMD is being very smart for choosing to bundle this game with its latest generation cards, but this is not something the company wants to confirm at this time. Graphics cards like the Radeon Fury X or Nvidia's Geforce Titan X or similar will definitely offer much better graphics than consoles. EA and Dice took over development and you are looking at better than Battlefield 4 graphics for this title. We tried the PlayStation 4 and people from EA told us that we should be able to try the PC demo at the Comic Con International that starts in some two weeks in San Diego.

Everyone who liked Star Wars episodes 4, 5 and 6 will want to play these games as you get the play parts of the movies and the game looks quite astonishing thanks to the Frostbyte 3 engine.

Characters are well developed, as they borrowed them from the original movie franchise, which is definitely something that will help the cause. EA wants to sell nine to ten million copies of the game and with Star Wars Episode 7 coming at roughly the same time. they have a good chance.

Mickey Mouse powered Disney really knows what it is doing, and getting EA on board seems to be a marriage made in heaven. The Frostbyte engine provides excellent lifelike graphics, and in game characters and movement which gives us an idea that this is going to be the game to have when it comes out. The game will come out on November 17th and EA will let you preload it a few days earlier.

Battlefield 4 was a great game and it was based on the same engine, so we think that Star Wars Battlefront has a good chance too. We believe Star Wars Battlefront has an even better chance to launch a bit more polished than Battlefield 4 is even today. Roughly five months away from launch, the Star Wars title feels quite ready.

The PlayStation 4 version we tried and the co-op mode was about defending a position in mountains and killing some imperial troopers and staying alive. We got to play for more than a few minutes and we can say that we like it. The movements are realistic, graphics is good even at the PlayStation 4 version and we can imagine that it will be even better. From what we saw, the gameplay looks promising and there is no reason not to be excited about the game, as long as you are fan of Star Wars and FPS games. [Which includes 98.72% of geeks. Ed]

There were a bunch of Plastation 4 consoles loaded with the game at the show and we have to say that we wished to have a keyboard and a mouse, as this is the way we like to play. This will happen soon enough but we are sure that this game will help selling more GPUs.

During its E3 2015 press conference, Electronic Arts announced plenty of of new games, but the most important was the Star Wars Battlefront game which got two new trailers.

Scheduled to launch on November 17th this year and will most likely be a part of AMD's new gaming bundle, the Star Wars Battlefront will feature plenty of multiplayer action with large-scale 40-player and smaller up to 8-player modes, including Walker Assault, seen in the trailer, as well as Supremacy, Fighter Squadron, Blast, Drop Zone, Cargo and more modes.

The five minute long trailer showcased during E3 2015 press conference showed a couple of aspects of the game, including first-person, third-person modes and vehicle action on both Rebels and Empire side as well as Luke Skywalke and Darth Vader, battling on the same map.

In addition to the multiplayer action which was a pre-alpha footage running on Playstation 4, EA also revealed a bit more details regarding Missons part of the game which you will be able to either play offline, in couch co-op or online co-op mode and which will include modes like Survival, Battles, Hero Battles, Trials and more.

Now that the Hardline beta has been out, we have to watch everyone pick apart not the game, but the graphically presentation.

The long and the short of it is that the Xbox One version is still rendering at 720p and the PlayStation 4 version is still rendering at 900p. Nothing different from what Battlefield 4 was doing with the Frostbite Engine when we saw it released alongside the next-gen consoles.

While we know that this is still a beta, we have to wonder how much additional time is left really to optimize Hardline prior to actual release? If we had to guess there is now much to do and the majority of the time left isn't going to the improvement of the graphics. Still we expected that Frostbite 3 would be better optimized by now on the consoles.

We also have to wonder on the Xbox One side if they are taking advantage of the most recent optimizations that have been made which have gone on to improve other. Although I have enjoyed playing Hardline, I can't say that I am pleased with graphics that have not evolved much from the release of the console.
